The Grand Steeplechase and the Queen's Guineas were the pieces de resistance of to-day's card, the former bring ing out six runners, which, by the fortune of war, were soon reduced to two, various falls end rt fusels leaving the issue to Pigeon and Bridegroom, the first-named taking the lead at the last fence and winning cleverly. The Queen's Plate only found Suburban and Rose to contest for it, the Count's horse the favourite. The weight told on him, however, and Rose won cleverly by half a length.

Bridegroom, on the far side, was first away, having Woodford, Portland, and Pigeon as his immediate followers, Meanwood and Wrangler bringing up the rear. The first flight ef hurdles was taken in these positions, but as they turned for the water jump in front of the Stand the two leaders were in advance, and cleared it side by side, the favourite following third, Portland fourth, with Wrangler and Meanwood lying up. Immediately they cleared the flight of hurdles on the hill the latter ran pact his horses and came down the hill several lengths in ad vance ; but, getting his head up, he, instead of taking the hurdles, bolted and ran nearly to the Stand before he could be stopped. This left Bridegroom again in possession of a clear load, closely attended by Pigeon, Woodford, Port land, and Wrangler in the order we hays given them, and which positions they retained across the lane and to the fence behind the hovel, which the two leaders cleared with out a mistake, but on Woodford reaching it he refused and ran down, and in so doing caused his followers, who were close in his wake, to follow suit. The four resolutely re fused to face the obstacle for some time, which completely put them out of the race, but Woodford being persevered with was got over, but repeating his refusal at the succeed ing fence he was stopped, and returned home. Bridegroom retained his pride of place, evidently by the permission of the rider of Pigeon, who waited with great patience until they reached the drop fence on to the Common, where he appeared to lose some ground, but speedily recovering the mistake, he reached the leader at the flight of hurdles at the distance, which he cleared in advance, and came on with a clear lead, and wen in a canter by half a dozen lengths.

GREAT FORGERY AND FRAUD ON DENT AND CO, OF COCKSPUR-STEET,—Francis Joseph Cooke, a young man, lately in the employ of Messrs Dent and Co., of Cockspur street, was placed at the bar on remand charged with forging cheques and orders for the delivery of goods to an amount exceeding £3OO, The facts connected with the case are somewhat extraor dinary. The prisoner, in the month of March last, pro cured an introduction to the Messrs Dent of the most re spectable description, and was engaged at first merely as a temporary clerk. duty was to arrange a quantity of old ppers, amongst which he found an old cheque book which contained a number of blank forms, This fact, it seems, led the prisoner to arrange a most extensive system of plunder, which was not put into execution until the whole scheme was ripo. 'When the time arrived the prisoner set to work with the utmost speed, and in one day he suc ceeded in obtaining either money from the customers of his employers, or goods to order purporting to be signed by them to the amount ef over £4OO. On the day in ques tion the prisoner called upon a number of jewellers and ob tained a large amount of property, and also favoured the customers of the Messrs. Dent with a visit to collect their accounts. In one case he went to Mr Dodd, Cornhill, and asked for the amount of a bill owing to Messrs. Dent, amounting to £l3O, which he received, He also went to Mr Jones, a jeweller, and obtained about £2OO worth goods, and to Mr Vaughan, whero he produced a forged cheque for £25, signed by Mr Dent, asking for the favour of change for it in Irish bank notes. This he also received. After collecting the whole of the plunder he absconded on the 13th of September, going, it appears, to Coleraine, in Ireland. After being there some time he returned to England and resided for a short time in Chelsea, his object being to get to Australia, he having taken a passage there in a ship which sailed two days after he was apprehended at Reigate from the information lodged there by Sergeant Russell, of the metropolitan police force. The court was crowded by persons from whom the prisoner bad either obtained money or goods, as he not only robbed his employer's customers, but he also victimized hie fellow clerks and acquaintances. Mr. Joseph John Carey, jeweller, Cheapside, said—The prisoner on the 13th of September entered my shop, and represented himself as having come from Messrs. Dent, of C.mrspur-street, and produced an order signed M. F. Dent and Co., for goods to the amount of £B9 Os. Gd. He gave me a cheque signed as per order for the amount, I had had but one small transaction with them, and I had never seen the prisoner before. The order stated that " the bearer" had a cheque for the goods, which, if not sufficient, he was to pay the balance in cash. Mr Henry (looking at the order)—l presume the articles are such as the Messrs Dent would not require ; for instance, a diamond ring ? _ _ _ Mr C arey— The transaction I have spoken of was cornet enough as to that particular article. Mr Smith, manager to Messrs Dent, said the prisoner was a junior clerk in the cashier's department. The order spoken of by Mr Coney is in his (prisoner's) handwriting. He had no authority to sign the name of the firm for the purpose of obtaining goods. The forged cheque is also issued by the prisoner. Mr Henry—Upon whose bank is the cheque drawn ? Mr Smith—The Messrs Drummond. The cheque book used by the prisoner was an old one, which was in use before the new stamp act was passed. Mr Henry—lt ought to have been burnt, because any person could put one of the new penny stamps upon it, and afterwards use it. How many old forms did the book con tain ? Mr Smith—Seventeen, your worship. Mr Henry—How many of those have been traced ? Russell, the officer--Only five, sir. A large amount of jewellery, consisting of ringa, watch chains, was here produced from a black leather bag, from amongst which Mr Caney identified nearly the whole of the Mr Henry—Did you presen t the cheque at Messrs Drum goods he had supplied the prisoner. monds ? _ _ . Mr Carey—No; I paid it into my bank, and it was re turned to me as forged. Mary Ann Bailey said I assist at the Railway Hotel, Reigate. The prisoner left the bag produced in my care on the 13th of September. George Rogers, superintendent of the Reigate policemen, said I took the prisoner into custody at Reigate. I found the watch and chain identified by Mr C arey on the pri soner's preen, and the key of the bag in which was a vast amount of jewellery, I fond in the prisoner's pocket. When I took him into custody he told me the curb chain he wore belonged to Mr C arey of Chcapside, and that the guards and Alberts also were his. Ho told me if I went to Mrs Cooke, South-street, Chelsea, I should find some more of the property. The next case called on was that in which the prisoner obtained £l3O from Mr. Dad, of Cornhill. Mr. New said ho di I not, on that occasion, propose to go into that case, as the charges against the prisoner were so numerous that he wished to atrange matters so that the trial should not take place at the Central Criminal Court until next sessions. Mr. Henry had no objection to such a proc9eding, there fore ho would, at that stags of the case, remand the prisoner For a week. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAPTURE OF THIEVES AND A RECEIVER.—WiIIiam Cook, John Greenwood, and Arthur Russell, three lads who refused their addresses, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing, at 34, Dudley-street, four pairs of trousers, of the value of GO., the property of Mr. Ben jamin, clothier; also with stealing a coat of the value of Bs., from the shop of Mr. John Foster, tailor, &c., 29, Princes street, Leicester-square ; and they were further charged with having in their possession a coat, a piece of linsey, and other property, believed to be stolen. Maria Cavanagh, of 6, Hatton-yard, St. Andrews, was charged with receiving the articles, well-knowing them to be stolen. The lads were well known to the police as thieves, and the woman as a receiver of stolen goods. Thomas Knowles, 200 G, deposed that about 10 o'clock at night he was on duty, in plain clothes, at the corner o Cross-street, Hatton - garden,when:he noticed Cook go down Hatton-garden-yard, having a bundle under his arm. Knowing Cook to be a thief, and suspecting all was not right, he kept a sharp lo o k out, and soon afterwar d s h e saw Greenwood and Rus se ll go d own, and ono of them having a bundle. On going do wn th e yard a l i tt l e way h e saw th e three lads go into the house, No. 6, where Cavanagh lived. He then went and got the assistance of another ccnstable, and entered the house very quietly, and found Cavanagh's room door a little way open, and on peeping through the opening saw Cook hand Cavanagh two pairs of trousers, which, after eho had looked at, eho placed on a chair, soy. ing she would pay for them. Rusesll then handed Cavanagh two pairs of trousers, and while Cavanagh was looking at them he (Knowles) pushed open the door and walked into the room, when Cavanagh exclaimed "Oh, my God," at the same time s'tting down on the two pairs of trousers on the chair, and the other two pairs she tried to secure under her clothes. He told Cavanagh to get up and she did so, and on his pointing to the trousers on the chair she said they did not belong to her. He then made a search and found a piece of new linsey and a piece of check, which Cavanagh said she had bought of a person she did not know. Mr Tyrwhitt asked the constable whether he knew Cavanagh, and the constable said he had known her fcr years, and she was once charged before his worship at Clerkenwell Police-court. Mr Benjamin having identified the trousers as his pro perty, and stated that they were stolen from his shop, L. Libby, 182 G, proved finding two coats in Cavanagh's room, one of them he saw Greenwood drop on his entering the room. Thomas Fitzgerald, in the employ of Mr Foster, identi fied one et the coats as the property of Mr Foster. Cavanagh said she told the luda to walk out of her room. Mr Tyrwhitt remarked that he had no doubt she did so as soon as she saw the constable walk in. Cavanagh said the constable could not have looked through the keyhole, because the door had not got one. Knowles said the door was not closed, through some singular want of foresight; nory as a bl an k et hung before t it, which was a com mon practice with r ece i vers, an d he was thus enalled to see what w a s goin g o n. The prisoners were all committed for trial, but will be brought up again. but Mr Tyrwhitt Cavanaghrefused, stating askedtatingth to be atshe was the admitted receiver, o bai l and the worst of the WESTMINSTER. eigneDirm-street, CHARACTERyeayears of age, 11 whoro upon Mr Fryer, a gentleman o s e e f d , Belgravo-squaro, a spurious t er his charged gave a G G v 0 n E No thesT s L E C i bmt Ahyl: name hN E a . whicho: P i onjfo D , Fht 1 arerl Francis m EN si as enabled n,Harris,.

E ar l y i n September last I saw an advertisement in the pap e rs ; it was headed, " Indoor Servant," and went on to say, " Single•handed or otherwise, ago 30, height 51t 9in, can brew, in last situation 3 years 2 months.' Thinking that the person described wo uld suit me, I wrot e t o th e a dd ress given, No. 13, Littl e Queen's-street, Edgware-road, and he came to m e. I engaged him, provided his reference, whic h he La d given me, was Ly satisfactory. steri i o us H e, en He particularly told was em " Captain Charles Willes, , me how to spell the gen tleman's name, aad I wrote to him at the address given , and in a few days I received an uirstvvooa reference E Essex; , answer stating that Thomas Harris had kved under him the exact time stated in the advertisement, three years and two months, and was everything a man could desire in a servant, was sober, honest, and had left on his own accord. Prisoner was hired in consequence of this high character, and came to my house in Dorset -street on the following Friday, and continued with me until the Monday, when I found out what he was. I found there was nothing laid for my dinner, no c l o th, no preparation. The prisoner was in a confused and muddled Mute, perfectly bewildered, and did not know what he was about. lie was thoroughly intoxi cated, and I told him that if he did not get out of my house in half an hour I would kick him out, and he took me at my word and went, The circumstance of his being drunk so soon after he had come to me was so opposed to the character I had just received of him that my suspicions were aroused, and I determined to leave no stone unturned until I ascertained whether prisener had not entered my service by means of a false character. I corresponded with the head of the constabulary, at Brentwood, Essex, inquiring about Capt. Willes, and I received in answer a communi• cation I now produce, informing me that there was no Capt. Wines known there, and no house of the name men tioned as his residence. Mr Selfe—H•Jw do you suppose the character was given ? Prosecutor—There is no doubt about the mode in which it was dune. I have been informed by the chief constable, at Brentwood, that the postmaster there received a written slip of paper, requiring letters addressed to Capt. Willes to be sent to 3, Southward-place, Hyde-park. There he was introduced to the master of the house, a gentleman who has lent me every assistance (Capt. Dyke). He knows nothing of a Capt. Willes, but there is every reason to le,lieve that there has been collusion with some of his ser vants, and that the character emanated from that quarter.: Mr Selte—ls there any farther evidence ?j Sergeant Huddy, of the B division—l took the prisoner last night at the address given in the Edgware-road, when he admitted his guilt. Mr Selfe—What did he say ? Witness—He said he was very sorry ; it was a false cha • racter ho had got, and he must admit it; but he was very sorry. Prisoner—l am gailty. I had been a long while out of a situation, and wanted to get another. Mr Selie—And when you had got it you took the quickest means in your power to lose it. Your conduct is very dis graceful, and this is a most serious offence, I shall fine you £2O, and in default commit you for six months. THAMES. CHARGE OF BIGANEY.—George Rabert Murrell, a mean looking man, aged 33 years, and described as a ropemaker, of Angel-place, High-street, Bow, was charged with bigamy, intermarrying with Laura Lomas, of No. 13, Buross-street, Commercial-road. The came failed, for the same reason that many cases of bigamy have failed, the absence of proof of the first mar • riage. The first wife, who in many cases of bigamy is the only person who can prove her marriage, is not per mitted to give evidence against her husband. This state of the law has given rise to innumerable hardships and cases of injustice. It was not long since that a man named Ducker, who had discaried his first wife and married a second, was charged with bigamy in this court. His first wife was the only person living who could prove the marriage with her husband, and she was not allowed to give evidence. Her husband was discharged, and left the court with his second wife, who knew he was a married man, and had a wife living when she was united to him in church, and had been living with him some time. She has been since living with Ducker, and the real Mrs Ducker has since summoned her husband for refusing to maintain her, and has been allowed a weekly stipend. Similar cases could be multiplied. Laura Lomas, his second wife, was sworn, and was be ginning to relate the particulars of her marriage to th prisoner, when Mr Partridge said the first thing to be done was to prove the first marriage, and that the first wife was living when the prisoner contracted the second marriage. A police constable who had charge of the case said he had the certificates of registry of both marriages to produce. Mr Partridge said that would not do. The first marriage must be proved by legal evidence. ' • The police constable said the first wife was in attendance. Mr Partridge—She cannot Le examined. The prisoner must be discharged, tut he can be taken into custody again if you can obtain further evidence. The second wife, a most respectable young woman, said she would pursue the case and obtain satisfactory evidence of the first marriage. MISSING SHIP.—The Harriet Hamble, from Sunderland for Kurraehee, sailed from the Downs on tho 20th of November, 1863, and has not since been heard of, A NLw RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—The necessity of devising means for preventing the perpetration of crimes in railway carriages has turned the attention of in ventors to the subject, and the following contrivance has been proposed by aM. Leprovost. His railway carriage is made of sheet iron, and does not greatly differ in appearance from the common one. It is a first class c .rriage containing 24 places, or 8 for each compartment. Within, a longitudi nal passage establishes communication between the com partments, azd extends along whole train from carriage to carriage. Tho partitions of each compartment, rising to the roof, prevent the inconvenience of draughts from the other compartments, and the partitions which form the passage protect the traveller from those which might come from the windows of the same ;compartment. From this it appears that travellers in the same compartment are only visible to the official that walks up and down in the passage. According to this description, the first-class car riage must, in our opinion, bear a striking resemblance to a prison van, and indeed we incline to believe that all this ingenuity is utterly thrown away, seeing .that the problem has long been solved in America, and better still in Switzerland, by doing away with compartments alto gether, and establishing a free communication with the adjoining carriages of the train; a plan which is onl} ob jected to by fastidious and shortsighted exclusiveness. In Switzerland nothing can be more convenient than a railway carriage, to which the traveller gains access by ascending a few steps, leading to a sort of platform or balcony for smokers. Here a door opens into the interior, fitted up like a saloon, with a table in the middle, and seats all round ; the passengers, instead of being cramped by sitting for hours in the same posture, can walk about, or write, or play at chess or whist if they please The seats are made to turn so as to face opposite points of the compass, and everything is arranged on the most com fortable plan, with the only exception that the traveller de sirous of solitude is not alone; a questionable comfort which, as we but too well know, is fraught with danger. SUEGERY.—The Abeille Medicale publishes 13 curious case of a fracture treated with iodine by Dr. Fouchard, of Pont St.-Mayence. About a year ago a carman, aged 66, and enjoying a good constitution, fell from his cart, one of the wheels of which went over his left leg and fractured it. Upon examination it was found that on the inner side of the leg there was a flesh wound which had bled profusely; the fracture was oblique, and at about one-third of the height of the log from the sole of the foot. The limb was successfully set, and the flesh wounl soon got well. No swelling nor inflam matory reaction ensued, and everything went on promising, when about 50 days after the accider. the bandages being taken off, Dr. Fouchard dis covered that the fragments of the tibia had not grown to gether again, although those of the fibula had. The ban dage was put on again, but a month later matters had not changed, and no callus had been formed between the fragments. Dr Fouchard, suspecting this might be owing to the interposition of a little unabsorbed blood which might in the end cause the formation of a false joint, re solved to have recourse to an injection of tincture of iodine. Having placed the limb on a roll of flannel so as to prevent the heel from resting on the bed, he inserted a tracer into the leg at the point where the fracture was, keeping the fragments of the tibia apart by a very slight pressure on the foot, and then injected the liquid twice, the patient declaring that he could not bear the operation any longer. After this operation the bandage was re placed, and after the lapse of about two months he had the satisfaction of perceiving that callus had been secreted, and that there was no mobility perceptible. The bandage was applied again notwithstanding, and the patient, though still not perfectly himself again, is now able to walk about with but little inconvenience. The 'titian Gazette announces the arrest of four of the ruffians who attacked the Swiss mail between 13ellinzona and Montcceneri on the 13th. They had six watches concealed about their persons, one of them being exactly like those worn by mail-conductors in Switzerland. Ono of the prisoners had only been 20 days at liberty, having just completed a long term of punishment in the galleys. The police are on the track of the other accomplices. The steam frigate Labrador, Captain Borgnes des Borden, employed in conveying infantry and cavalry between Algiers and Oran, was assailed in its last passage by a vio lent tempest from the north-east. After having received considerable damage to her masts and lost 16 horses, she at last found a refuge in a port on the Spanish coast. Marshal Forey arrived at Nancy a few days back and was warmly welcomed. The military autho rities, headed by General Count d'Alton, received the Mar shal at the railway station, and proceeded mith him on horseback to his hotel, the streets being thronged with people and the houses decked out with flags. In front of the Hotel do Lorraine was a large escutcheon bearing the names of the victories gained by the Marshal in Mexico. Cries of " Vive l'Empereur 1" " Vivo le Marechal Furey 1" were to be heard on all sides. The troops of the garrison were drawn up on the Place Stanislaus, and paid the usual military honours as the cortege passed. Immediately after his arrival at the Hotel the Marshal appeared on the bal cony, when a fresh outburst of acclamation took place. A reception of the civil authorities afterwards took place. The Italian Naval Journal announces that, from motives of economy, the experimental squadron will be reduced to a single division, composed of the ironclad frigates Re d'ltalia, San Martino, Castelfidardo, and the Maria Pis, or the Principe Carignano. Rear-Admiral Vacca will remain in command, having his flag on board the Re d'ltalia. The frigates Garibaldi, Italia, Duca di Genova, Carlo Alberto, and Maria Adelaide ; the corvette Terrible ; the steam advice boat Messagiero ; and the transport Rosolino Pilo, will be laid up in ordi nary. The corvettes Euridice and Valorosa are to proceed on an experimental cruizo in the Mediter' ranean, SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF•PAST' 4 O'CLOCK. TURKEY.'; MARSEILLES, Oct. 19.—Letters from Constanti nople to the 13th state the commercial crisis still continues. The bankruptcies in England has led to a great fall in Turkish Consols. The line of tele. graph from Constantinople to Bagdad is now at work. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES --Mr. Gladstone sec tits destined, if not to found a new school, at any rate to introduce new practices into English statesmanship. Our public men have hitherto been, like the nation if which they are the leaders, some what undemonstrative; the exer&se of their abilities has generally been most conspicuous in Parliamentary debate, where they seldom fail, if the subject in hand be only worth the trouble to exhaust in all its bearings. They are also called upon, as a part of their profession as leaders and in structors of the people, to make statements of their views on particular public questions at public meetings held during the recess of Parliament, and before their own con stituents to give an account of their political opinions and conduct. These are the duties in discharging which a member of Parliament does not appear to go at all oat o f hi s Way. But there has been a sort of tracUtion among men holding cr aspiring to hold a first .rate position in public life that it 14 as becoming in states men to confine themselves pretty rigorously within the limits we have mentioned, ani that they were more likely to lose than to gain in influence if they suffered themselves to be tempted beyond them. Lord Palmerston is a striking example that a Prima Minister, full of years and honours, can do many things in the shape of what may be called promiscuous public speaking, which his predecessors would have considered altogether impossible ; but Mr Gladstone disdains the narrow limits within which the Prime Minis ter has confined his activity, and undertakes, for the benefit of an andieena to which he is bound by no other tie than that of receiving a complimentary address, to publish a sort cf "Murray's Handbook" of the politics of the time, and of his own share in them. He has been Et) long a con spicuous figure in public life, he Las been so prominent an actor in the scenes of which be treats, that it is no reproach to him to say that even his powers of reproduction cannot give them the interest which they had at first hand, and that the history of the last eleven years will live more vividly in his speeches in Parliament than in any narrative, however brilliant and elaborate. Having in a great num ber of previous speeches given his opinion on almost every subject connected with the social and material progress of society, Mr Gladstone proceeded to give the Chamber of Commerce at Manchester his views on politics in all their branches. With regard to foreign politics, he considers the position of England to be dignified, influential, and impar tial. We are placed on sort of judicial elevation, being freed from any selfish interest, with no enmities to gratify, and no other mission than to promote harmony and good-will among our neighbours. There is solid truth at the bottom of this very flittering sketch, though we scarcely expect that it will be admitted as a true portrait of perfi nous Albion by those neigh bouring and rival Powers who ought to be the best judges on such a subject. On this question we must admit that Mr Gladstone occupies the very foremost place among Eng lish politicians, that he has broken entirely with the old school which seemed to have been educated in the doctrine of Hobbes—that war is the natural state of man, and that the business of England was not to raise herself above, but to mix herself up with those unceasing Continental quarrels in which she has so slight and so shadowy an interest. With regard to America Mr Gladstone's statement is equally satisfactory. We have suffered grievously by the war, but we reccgni€e the right of America to settle her own quarrels her own way. We doubt the power of the North to reduce the South, but the responsibility is theirs. We have no jealousy, and we wait the result in patience and forbear ance. This language is worthy of England, and will, we hope, produce its just effect upon America, from which we have not always been in the habit of hearing words equally temperate and equally conciliatory. . . . nEßALD.—Another collapse We have an Admiralty Board, and are supposed to have a navy, but apparently we shall soon be without any sailors. Big ships, little guns, and no men, and the best ship cf all laid on the shelf among the steam reserve. Heaven help old England in the day of need I Our Crimean campaign was bad enough when we threw an army ashore and left it to perish, and packed the pill-boxes under the bomb-shells, the former to be unshipped at Scutari and the latter to go on to Balaclava. The cruise in the Baltic was bootless enough, in which we burned down timber stacks where there were no batteries, and fired at Cronstadt from the respectful distance of three miles, flat tering ourselves that by tilting our gun at eagle of 4f degrees we had just m .nsged to reach the foe. All this was sufficiently odd; but who shall say what strange results would become apparent were we now to find our selves suddenly brought into conflict with a first-class naval power ? Chatham and Woolwich aro crying out for sailors, and are likely to cry, according to all appearance, for some time to come. We cannot revive the old press gang, yet we cannot get volunteers, and between the two what is to become of us ? 'We are told this is an old difficulty; but after all the new devices which have been set on foot in recent years we had thought that the old story would come to an end. At least we had a right to expect that matters would not get worse. But what do wo find at the present time ? The Admiralty are actually at their wits' end to find sailors for the purpose of manning the only two ships which are now fitting out—namely, the Achilles and the Victoria, It would seem odd if the Admiralty were to be told that they should build no more ships until they c ,uld find men to work them ; but it is obvious thtdall the naval architecture in the kingdom will be useless without the real cis viva. Sir Charles Napier was worried in his day, and growled at the notion of seeking sailors on the cab-stand and in the tailor's shop; but we seem now to be sinking to a lower depth. We are told that upwards of a thousand continuous service men who, at the commencement of the Russsan war, entered the Royal navy from the merchant service, have re fused to renew their engagements, and that many whose term of ten years has nearly expired have requested their discharge on being paid off. The prospect is, therefore, darker the further we look ahead, and we can give full credence to the cautious admission that the so called " old-difficulty", of manning the vessels fitting and to be fitted for sea "is just now causing consi derable anxiety at the Admiralty." The Achilles is said to leave Chatham considerably under-manned; but it is thought "probable" that she will " pick up" the re mainder of her crew at Devonport. The grounds of this faint probability are not clear. Woolwich has been cater ing for some weeks past to get men for the Victoria, a three-decker; but it is said that the effort has met with " small success." Referring to the flag ship Fisgard, we are told that, despite the " cld difficulty," she was " for merly crowded to inconvenience," but it is sorrowfully con fessed that only a few men are now to be found in her berths. We are, therefore, at a loss to know where the Achilles is to find men, ualess by same official hocus pocus they are to bo turned out of one ship in to another, some what on the thimble-rig principle. Even this latter pro cess has its dangers, as we see in the case of the Royal Sovereign. By putting this ship out cf . cAnmission 300 men were set at liberty. These—and many more—were wanted for the Achilles and the Victoria; but out of all the lot only 20 or less remained in the service, STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, Oat, 10....-Duoinozo in Men. Loot.. zo or the same character as that described in yesterday's report. Prices are drooping and almost nominal, buyers holding aloof, and operating only where goods aro offered at excep tionally low prices. Every day's experience seems to give a new lesson of caution. To use a buyer's expression, "it we buy goods in Tuesday's market because they appear to be cheap, we find when FL iday's market comes they wore dear." Sellers say that virtually prices have come down to about 18d, per lb. for cloths, and it is difficult to get orders even for small quantities at that. The failures named yes terday of manufacturers appear to have reached nearly a dozen, and to day the suspension is mentioned of a firm of manufacturers at Ashton having four or five mills in ope ration. _ _ LEICESTER, 19th.—There has been a satisfactory amount of business transacted during the past few days in hosiery goods, particularly in the fancy departments. Manatee turers continue well employed to order. At Hinckley and Loughborough business is rather quiet. Yarns are selling at recent quotations, and spinners are fairly engaged, making only to order. In wools there is no important change ; the market generally is quiet. • NOTTINGHAM, 19th.—The lace trade continues very flat. There have been a few home buyers in the market, but they have only bought sparingly, particularly of staple goods. Continental buyers abstain from purchasing, in consequence of the uEsettled state of the yarn market, and yac laces are in tolerable request. There is a little doing in Mecklin quiltings, but no improvement whatever has taken place in the demand for black laces or silk Mecklins and quillings. The hosiery trade remains very depressed. There is no revival in either the home or foreign markets. Yarns are a trifle firmer.

Oct. 20, 1864. The Explosion at Erith, Yesterday evening Mr W. Payne, coroner for London and Southwark, resumed at Guy's Hospital the inquiry respect ing the death of the girl Elizabeth Osborn, who expired from the effects of the explosion at Erith. Mr C. J. Carttar, the coroner for Kent, was present. Mr H. Bodkin Poland, instructed by Mr Tassell, ap. peared on behalf of Messrs Hall, the owners of the exploded. barges and magazines. It will be remembered that these proceedings had been adjourned in order that the cm over might apply to the Board of Trade to direct an inspection to be made of the barrels, Bcc., in use by the Messrs Hall, as the undated letter found atter the explosion in the handwriting of George Rayner, the manager of the exploded magazine, described the con dition of the barrels sent to him from Faversham to be in the last degree dangerous. Mr C. J. Carttar handed to Mr Coroner Payne the letter of Rayner, which has been already published. Mr Payne read the letter to the jury, and made a note of the fact. Mr Peter Hall was then sworn. He said—l carry on business as one of the fi-ra at Lombard•street. William Nlonk is the manager at Faversham, and George Rayner was the manager of the magazine at Erith. The letter pro duced, though addressed to Monk, was not received. If it had been my brother would hays seen it at Faversham, I believe moat confidently the letter was never sent. It was written three years ago. Coroner—Ysu cannot tell that. Witness.—Well, three years ago Rayner called at the offices and complained of the casks, and said " Do so cer tainly;" but I communicated with my brother, who visited the works next day. lly impression is that he did not send the letter, as I took up the matter myself. No com plaints were made since then. _ _ A Juror—But in the letter ho says, '. I have not as yet made any complaint," so that he could not ha, a seen you at the time he wrote the letter, and he told you ho would write. Witness said that his impression was that the letter, which was without date, had been written when Rayner had the interview with him. The coroner then read a few words from the fragment of a letter dated 1818, and written by a man named William Hart, in which it was said, " Let these be sent in new and sound casks, not," &c. The letter had been picked up, like the other, after the explosion. It did not appear to be of any particular importance, But he had received a number of letters and communications from different persons, some of which contained apparently valuable suggestions. H e had written to ask the Board of Trade to cause an inspection to be made GI the c misting magazines of Messrs Hall, but they had not done so. Various suggestions as to the safe package and storage of powder having been offered, The Foreman said that it would certainly seem to be de sirable that magazines should only be erected on such a spot that an explosion would not place in peril the lives of a whole community. Mr Hall said that 18 acres of land had been purchased at gnat expense, solely to keep persons at a distance. The Coroner said that no doubt the Messrs. Hall had done everything for the best, according to their judgment, and therefore they could not fairly be blamed for, the cala mity which had taken place. But after such occurrences suggestions were naturally made with a view to improve ment, and he had no doubt that due consideration would be given to them. The Jury returned a verdict—" That the deceased died from the effects of an accidental explosion of gunpowder, but that there was uo evidence as to how the explosion arose." The Foreman said that the jury had already expressed their opinion with respect to the danger of permitting lights and fires on board powder barges. The proceedings then terminated. Extraordinary Suicide. Yesterday an investigation was held by Dr Lankester, the coroner for Central Middlesex, touching the death of Mr Robert Henry Williams, aged 27, who was the London manager of the Mercantile and Exchange Bank, at the pri• vate residence of that gentleman, 9, New Cavendish. street, Cavendish-square. Mr Wm. Smith:Williams, 13, Ampthin-square, identified the body as that of his son, who was a bank manager. He saw mm nist alive on ;Sunday last, and he was then in his usual health, but much depressed in spirits. Mr G. Harley, M.D., analytical chemist, and Professor of Medical Jurisprudence at University Cullege Hospital, said he had made a post-mortem examination of the body 36 hours after death. After describing the results of the various tests employed, he said he could distinctly say tha the cause of death was poisoning by cyanide of potassium Mr George Napoleon Epps, M.R.C.S., said he was re lated to deceased, and frequently saw him, sometimes two or three times a week. He saw him on Sunday last, but he was not as usual— ho seemed depressed, which witness attri buted to his overwork at the bank. He believed that de ceased had overworked his brain, and his mind had given way under the pressure of anxiety. He was present with Dr. Harley at the post-mortem examination. He received a message from Drake, the serving man to deceased, about eleven o'clock on Monday night, asking him to come and see deceased. He went, and was shown into the parlour, when Drake said, in answer to inquiry, "He is not here, he is in his bedroom." Witness then went upstairs and spoke to deceased. Ho did not answer, upon which witness put his hand on deceased's forehead in a friendly way and found he was dead. This was at five minutes past eleven. Ile then called assistance. After some other evidence, The Coroner inquired if any paper had been found which had contained cyanide of potassium, or whether deceased practised photography ? A negative reply was returned. A brother of deemed said that he was in the habit of taking photographs, but he could not say whether deceased had possessed himself of any of the cyanide of potassium. was ia de la , y and d t t h a i h e b e et believedxha i h n a a l .

If the jury had not sufficient evidence before them, they could r e -examine any of the witnesses; but he thought there was sufficient for them to return a verdict. _ _ _ . The jury returned a verdict that deceased was fuund dead in his bed from the mortal cfEcts of cyanide of potassium, which he bad taken by his own hand while in an unsound state of mind. The proceedings then terminated.
